hagel apologized and that former adviser, james hormel, now supports hagel's nomination. but much of the opposition to hagel is rooted in his loud split with the republican party over the iraq war and skepticism about his willingness to use force. in an interview with cnn, vice president biden argued that hagel is no dove. >> the idea of getting engaged in a ground war, in a country that's in transition is not a precipitation any military man would suggest. >> in many ways, obama's pick of hagel, who he forged a relationship with in the senate, then traveled with to afghanistan and iraq in july of 2008, along with cia nominee john brennan and incoming secretary of state john kerry represent a shift in the way the u.s. wages war and the president's attempts to put an imprint on u.s. foreign policy. today, hagel will have his first chance to publicly respond to his critics, in a 112-page questionnaire requested by the committee, hagel begins to do that on iran and israel. this is what he said in the questionnaire, and he'll be questioned about this today. on the questionnai

and said hagel consistently advocated weakness. lindsey graham who said hagel's in-your-face nomination. gillibrand who may have questions. what will you be watching for or who, rana? >> again, i'm hoping this is going to be a real policy discussion, and i think on iran, we really need to have a big conversation about our position in iran, and i just want to say in terms of being perceived as weak or not aggressive enough about adversaries in the least, i disagree with that. if you look at economic sanctions in iran and working with partners around sanctions, they've been effective in large measure. i mean, are the government of iran is not very popular right now in large part because we've worked with partners. the president has come up with a coalition around sanctions, and those have been effective. i think they need more time to work. i think that perceiving somebody as not being strong because they're saying we don't want to rush into one of the most strategically important countries and have a military operation is the wrong

this time going after chuck hagel. he was one of three senators who streeted against john kerry's appointment of secretary of state. he seems to be staking out a specific territory for himself, sort of more on the right. but when you wrote about senator cruz during the election, you said that you were, quote, comforted by the theory that cruz is driven more by ambition than by tea party doctrine. so does that theory still give you comfort? >> it does, karen. i mean, i can't say that what he's doing right now is reassuring for people who are seeking some sort of moderate and reasonable behavior. now, he voted against kerry most likely like his fellow texas senator john cornyn to appease the big donors down there in texas who have it in for john kerry. he's definitely been a real hotdog since he's arrived in the senate wanting to stir things up as much as possible. he's very careful though. so if he sees the winds beginning to blow another way from what we've seen in the past and i have known him for -- since a dozen yea
